This month I’ve had two bouts of sharp neck and shoulder pain.  Both of them occurred after I lost my NUCCA adjustment.  I don’t usually have too much pain when I’m out of alignment, but this helped to remind me of what I was like before chiropractic care.
People need NUCCA! I sure do!  I’m so [...]

Neck pain can seriously restrict our ability to do our normal activities of daily living.
It can inhibit us from washing our hair, or sleeping soundly, even the ability to do our job or take care of our children.
Just last week I lost my NUCCA adjustment and my neck was so painful, that I had to [...]

Many people suffer from low back pain.  Whether you have chronic low back pain or acute low back pain, NUCCA has been shown to help tremendously.

Do you have dry mouth?
Do you have diarrhea?
Do you have tachycardia or a too-fast heart rate?

Stress is a part of life – and it’s VITAL that we have a stress response.  It allows us to make quick decisions.  It enables us to lift heavy equipment to save a loved one.  It stimulates our body to fight or to flee from a situation that is unwanted.
Unfortunately, when it’s long-term, those stress [...]

Have you suffered from frozen shoulder?  It severely limits your ability to do your normal activities, from getting dressed and washing your hair, to playing sports and lifting your children.  Frozen shoulder can heal on its own, depending upon the severity of the injury, but it takes a lot of time – time you may [...]

Trigeminal neuralgia has sometimes been called the suicide disease, because the pain can last for years without any hint of relief.   It’s a terrible, debilitating disease that literally forces someone’s life to be put on hold.  It’s not the only chronic pain problem that does that; it’s just one of the many.

The researchers have been working hard and the NUCCA leg check study has been accepted to be published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.  This will give more credibility to the method by which NUCCA practitioners determine a misalignment.  We know it works and we’ve proven that it works!  Now the world will [...]
